CHAPTER SEVEN

He fisted his hands and closed his eyes. Her scent filled his lungs and caused a rush of pinprick-like sensations to flush over his skin.

If he shifted in this small space...

A whoosh of energy battered his last ditch effort to stay human.

“Ah hell!” Muscles stretched and he fell to his knees. Braced on all fours, his teeth elongated and skin morphed to a full pelt of thick brown fur.

Surprise permeated the air instantly as a sudden gasp hit his ears. “Adam. What the hell!”

He stilled and dropped close to the den floor. With his gaze locked on hers, he inched forward and forced the energy coursing through his body to slow so she wouldn’t pick up on the panic eating at him too. Shifting hadn’t been in the cards, but resisting her allure proved impossible. As slowly as possible, he tucked his head under her hands. Damn it, he wished they shared the mating bond where he could talk to her in bear form. Let her know he meant no harm. She must be scared.

Maybe if he could get her to relax and see being a werebear wasn’t much different from being human, she would accept him.

“Easy Adam, it’s only me.” With her hands raised Aurora eased away from him and pressed her back against the wall. Hell no, he wasn’t having that. As gently as possible, he caught her hand in his mouth. Before he could ease her fear any further she froze, wide-eyed like a bunny caught in a snare.

What the fuck, could he not do anything right?

Smooth move, Adam. Too late to back down now. He released her, dropped his head and pressed his massive head into her thigh until the smooth material of her snowsuit filled his vision. Small, delicate fingers faintly brushed against the back of his head.

It was a start.

Seconds later she spoke to him. “The fur on your belly is softer.” He caught her leg with his nose, when she stopped running her fingers through his fur and earned a small laugh in return.

“You gave me a scare, you big brute.” All the heat in her words dripped away to reveal a hint of humor. “Next time give a girl warning.”

His bear bristled at her words all the same. As his mate, she should never fear him. Hunkered close to the floor, the energy of the shift pulled him through until he stood before her all man. With his arms stretched out, he wrapped her in a hug and buried his nose in her hair. For a brief moment, he returned to the last time they’d stood in this spot. He missed the days he could spend tucked away from the world with only themselves to worry about.

“Adam, there’s just too much to say. Too many layers to add yet another one that’s even more complicated than the last.”

Yet she didn’t pull away. Instead, she played with the long hair that brushed his neck.

“Layers were intended to be peeled back, sweetheart. I don’t have the energy to deny the need I have for you, Aurora.
